कथयन्तः कथां विष्णोः स्वरूपमनुवर्णनम् । तापसाः प्रययुः सर्वे संहृष्टा ब्रह्मणोंऽतिकम्
kathayantaḥ kathāṃ viṣṇoḥ svarūpamanuvarṇanam | tāpasāḥ prayayuḥ sarve saṃhṛṣṭā brahmaṇoṃ'tikam
Dalam perjalanan, semua pertapa dengan sukacita menuturkan kisah Viṣṇu—menguraikan hakikat wujud-Nya—dan melangkah menuju hadirat Brahmā.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration within Dvārakā Māhātmya)
Remembrance and narration of the Lord’s nature (kathā) sanctifies the journey and uplifts the mind.
Dvārakā is the māhātmya setting, though the verse foregrounds devotion to Viṣṇu while approaching Brahmā.
No formal rite is stated; the devotional act is śravaṇa-kīrtana (hearing/reciting sacred narrative).
